Corporate Dialoguing (Joshua 24)

When we meet together for worship it might be something that has become rather rote.  We rise, we sing, we listen, and we might think that there is not much we can glean from worship because the experience is not what we expect it to be.  Is this a problem with worship or a problem with us?  What is really going on between God and HIs people even if the Ark of the Covenant is not present with us?

A Corporate Community (Joshua 5:1-12)

Joshua assembles the Lord’s people together after they cross the Jordan River.  Joshua is command to circumcise the people of God a second time.  Why would Joshua waste precious time to engage in such a physical ceremony?  Why not just go to war, secure the land, and enjoy the Lord’s redemptive purpose?

A Worshipping Community (2) (Genesis 15)

Abraham is one who has called out of his land, away from his father, and away from idolatry.  He is called to worship the one true God.  Does this mean that only those who are genetically tied to Abraham have life in Abraham?  How do we know that the blessings for Abraham are for the nations rather than one nation or nationality?
